Dividend Finance provides tailored financing solutions for solar projects, offering quick, paperless applications and fast approval. Follow the steps below to integrate Dividend financing directly into your solar proposals on SubcontractorHub.
Step 1: Sign in with your username and password.
Step 2: Click "New Customer" in the top right-hand corner to create a new lead.
Step 3: Input the customer’s address and basic information. The address can be added manually by clicking on the “Manual Address” checkbox. Select the job type and assign it to a user by clicking “Assign To”. Fill out setter and lead source details, as well as other information. Click “Create customer” in the top-right corner of the page.
Step 4: You have now created a proposal card. Click "View Detail" to begin generating a design and pricing.
Step 5: Click the “Utility” drop-down box in the Consumption profile section. Select the correct utility company. All of the data for that utility is being pulled in real-time to ensure accurate utility rates.
Step 6: Scroll down to enter the client's kWh usage. You can opt to either enter the monthly or annual usage by switching the toggle. The predictive AI will also generate an assumed consumption amount based on the address entered.
Likewise, if you only have a few months of data available, the software will attempt to auto-fill the other months' data.
Step 7: Click “Start Design”.
Step 8: Most homes will be able to utilize the AI-Assisted design tool. Identify the correct home, align it with the tool’s crosshair and click "Run AI Design".
Step 9: Click on the modules that you want to include in the design. You will notice the system size, offset, and production all change in real-time.
Update Electric Bill pricing and Annual Usage that suit your customer’s needs.
You can select the type of panel that goes into the system alongside the design.
Step 10: Click “Save”.
Step 11: Your AI-Assisted Design is ready with system size details. You can even add an inverter to your design.
Step 12: Scroll down and turn on the battery toggle to add batteries to your proposal.
Step 13: Choose if you would like to quote a backup battery OR a grid-tied battery here.
Step 14: Add as many rooms or appliances as your customer needs to back up. Select the room or appliance to increase or decrease the quantity. The battery recommendation algorithm will calculate how many batteries the customer needs to back up the added rooms or appliances and increase or decrease the number accordingly.
Select the desired battery for the project. Keep in mind that a 1.7X battery-to-solar ratio in CA and a 1.5X battery-to-solar ratio in Puerto Rico is required. This will ensure the customer has enough battery reservoir to offset "on-peak" and evening consumption.
Step 15: If you require additional equipment for your quote, scroll down to the “Add-on” section. This section is optional. Click “Choose Adders”.
Step 16: Select the adders and click “Done”.
Step 17: You can add a down payment amount before selecting your finance options.
Step 18: Scroll down to the finance section and select Dividend. Choose a finance option from the “Finance Options” dropdown, then click “Add Loan”.
Step 19: Click “Finalize” on your finance card.
Step 20: Click “Qualify”.
Step 21: Fill out the customer’s details and click “Submit”.
Step 22: Click “Sync Quotes” to get the updated finance status.
Step 23: After successful qualification, the “Qualify” button will turn blue and read “Qualified”. Click “Sign Loan Agreement”.
Step 24: Click “Yes” to continue.
Step 25: Your customer will receive a pre-qualification email asking them to register to EmpowerPortal.
Step 26: After registering, your customer will receive an email with instructions for signing the finance contract.
Step 27: Once the finance documents are signed, the finance card will show the updated finance status.
